"The evidence against the authenticity of the map is based largely on the appearance of many non-existent islands in the North Atlantic and off the coast of Iceland. One of these islands was Frisland." --- This is hardly evidence against the authenticity of the map. Maps from the 14th through 16th centuries commonly depicted non-existent islands to the west of Europe, including Frisland. Certainly the Zeno is a forgery but this is not the evidence against it. That evidence is outlined in Lucas's book. (added by 24.113.181.22, 09:44, 19 November 2006)

interesting details and a new interpretation here: Venetian Navigators. The Voyage of the Zen Brothers to the Far North. Faber & Co., London, 2011. ISBN 978-0-571-24377-8. some details were unknown to other coeval maps, and some toponyms are coherent with a voyage in the year 1390.-- 147.162.48.1 ( talk) 15:52, 13 November 2014 (UTC)
